THE PURPOSE OF LIFE by Wilhelmus de de WILDE

I did not rate your essay. I do not expect you to rate my essay. I am not bargaining with you. I am educating you.

Joe Fisher, Realist

Your paper definitely gives food for thought. In particular, trying to explain entanglement in a different way is nice because it is something that has always bewildered me how entanglement can truly be possible.

I agree that there are so many different paths and choices that we all take, and collectively, this could result in an infinite number of possibilities. But I sure hope that this doesn't mean that there are parallel universes where our decisions spawn a parallel path. It's hard to prove or disprove a parallel universe, but I personally believe that they don't exist. I believe that nature is simple and I sure hope that we can prove this one day.

Dear Wilhelmus

I am struggling with some of your concepts such as ENM, but agree very much with the e Subjective Simultaneity Sphere. This was in effect pointed out by Helmholz a long while ago.

For me "now" is not eternal but is continually changing.

Wilhelmus,

First, a minor criticism. You use a lot of acronyms that are of your creation. Until something is widely accepted as an acronym, it is better not to do this. It makes it difficult for the reader.

The real meat of your essay starts when you discuss the two slit experiment. That is a nice touch and fits well with the flow of things. I was not aware of the delayed choice experiment by Wheeler ... many thanks. The interpretation of the Wheeler experiment and the discussion of Bob and Alice then follows cleanly. The diagrams you provide here are helpful.

It seems to me that what you describe as TS Consciousness is similar to the complex plane in my essay.

All in all this is a respectable effort.

Best Regards and Good Luck,

Dear Wilhelmus, I see that you have essentially different world's picture.

``Totality of human thinking"? Probably some analogue of the direct sum. I see that even in the physical community such ``totality" is very and very problematic. But at least one point is common: Hilbert space looks now more fundamental than space-time.

PS I cannot understand the general principle of the calculation of scores. How this value may be reduced in time? Who play with this?

Best regards,

Peter

Wilhelmus,

I might be able to provide assistance but there is no guarantee. Take a look at two papers I have posted to viXra.org. They are "Quaternion Dynamics Part 1 and Part 2". They can be found here:

Dear Wilhelmus de Wilde,

I read your essay several times before I received your letter. Very interesting work, it makes us think a lot. At the time, I explored some of the problems that you have set.

How do you say "Mankind is full of ideas" and "universe cannot yet be realised with our scientific method of thinking". The Subjective Simultaneity Sphere (SSS). The origin of all "thoughts" is the reception of information. As I understand you, we are talking about the "noosphere - is the sphere of human thought". I have researched this problem Singular technology - the research area promoting the country's sustainable noosphere development Such factors as the formation of a new (noospheric) political and economic outlook and the changes in scientific and technological structure of economy are gaining paramount importance under the action of the law of time and the adequate need to change the logic of socio-economic behavior of the population of planet Earth.

I researched "The unity between micro and macro". [/link] and Femtotechnologies

Femtotechnologies Presentation . In work the femtoregion of the simplyest element, atom of hydrogen, is considered. It is shown that the electron in atom of hydrogen has the difficult spatial structure taking which into account allows to specify fundamental constants, such as a constant of thin structure, the speed of light, Bohr radius of an electron. It is shown that on the basis of these constants it is possible to construct the fundamental scales scaling both internal and external fields of atoms. It allows to formulate macroquantum laws that govern the Universe. It means that without research atoms femtoregion it is impossible to eliminate an abyss which arose between gravitation and electromagnetism. It is shown that our model removes a number of theoretical contradictions and is perfectly confirmed by the last astrophysical experiments.

I also researched the opportunity of transfer functions of the human cerebral cortex in silicon neurochip Digital mind - one of the ways to immortality

I hope that I was able to some extent «Come closer to the TOTAL YOU»

Best regards

Wilhelmus,

I see your prediction was correct and the integers appeared. Not universal or 'observer dependent' it seems!. But yours is now applied.

'Spin' in QM is only precluded from being rotation due to incorrect initial assumptions, as Bell suspected, which was 'making NO assumption' about particle morphology!. If they'd just hypothesised the most basic of particle morphologies, a spinning sphere, and Maxwell's 'curl' and linear momentum, none of the nonsense would ever have started!

But yes; I suggested 10 years to advance understanding, but perhaps another 100 may be needed.

Hi Wilhelmus,

Good to be in another contest with you. I like your TS concept. Would I be correct to say that is close in meaning to the concept of now?

And thanks for your insights on my essay!

Don Limuti

Wilhelmus, this is a very well thought through essay. You give a clear picture of how information is stored in memory and is processes from signals from the spheres. This leads to goals. It is consistent with my view and you add a lot of detail and further insights.

Our sensation of time is central to these ideas. The delayed choice experiment shows that causality is a complex matter. What are your thoughts on how our world is asymmetric with respect to the direction of time, so that past and future are so different?

Dear Wilhelmus de Wilde,

It's been obvious for years that you are extremely focused on consciousness, so I'm not surprised that you partook of 'expanded' consciousness, 'back in the day'.

I very much liked your "searching for the announcer in the radio".

When I first read your essay I started to give you 10, but everyone that I pushed to the top so they would receive more visibility immediately got shot down by whatever troll lurks beneath the FQXi bridge biting passersby with 1's.

Also, I wanted more time to digest the meaning of your essay. While I think your scheme is magnificent, I was unsure how literally you meant it. For me experience of physical reality is key, but current projections of structure on physical reality are confused at best. Essays on consciousness seek to gain 'respectability' (the coin of the realm) by tying their systems to physics (the holy word of the realm). If the physics is mistaken (as much today is) it can take a perfectly good understanding of metaphysics in the wrong direction.

For specific analysis of physics aspects in contention, see my reply to your comments on my essay page.

I do believe in a physically real universe, but GR and QM have confused the issue via erroneous projections that are (at the moment) given credence. The universe will not simply vanish when these errors are corrected, but certain mystical and unphysical conceptions will vanish.

In short, I think you've developed a powerful way of describing the experience of local conscious beings in a unified reality existing Now. I think you should not try to tie it too closely to mystical elements of current physics which will not survive the century. Hopefully, not the next decade. As metaphor I buy your beautiful system, as physics not so much. Clearly, over the sequence of FQXi essays, you are getting closer to the truth. I am quite sure that you will continue to do so. I hope my comments are useful to you.

My very best regards; keep up the excellent work.

Edwin Eugene Klingman

Dear Wilhelmus,

This was a very interesting reading, which turns upside-down some of the usual ideas. Causality as we thought we know it is challenged whenever we try to make sense of quantum mechanics by using elements of reality, and you used this well in trying to elucidate if there is a purpose of the universe.

Best regards,
